Greatly enjoyed hosting a wonderful group of colleagues and students from Ghent University for the inaugural Lancaster-Ghent symposium. The symposium is part of our new research and teaching partnership (for more info please see our website).
The first event focused on “Discourse and Media”. A great thank you to our invited speakers for their excellent presentations and to our delegates for their thoughtful comments and discussion. The symposium clearly indicated many fruitful avenues for future research and teaching collaborations, and it will be exciting to strengthen the links between our institutions over the coming years.
Invited speakers:
- Gent: Geert Jacobs, Jana Declercq, Eliza Kowal, Sophie Busschop
- Lancaster: David Barton, Daniela Ibarra Herrera, Elena Semino, Karin Tusting
The next event takes place next month! The second Lancaster-Ghent symposium will focus on “Multilingualism: Learning, processing, teaching and testing” and take place on April 18-19, 2017. Both events are funded by FASS Internationalization Fund, acknowledged with gratitude.
